MEMBERSHIP INVITATION

You are invited to join the Australian Industry & Defence Network (Canberra) Incorporated.

In 1998 the Commonwealth Government established the Australian Industry & Defence Network. The Commonwealth Government nominated AIDN as the peak organisation to represent defence-related SMEs with the Department of Defence, the Defence Export Council and the Department of Industry.

State and Territory branches of AIDN were established. In the ACT, a branch was formed in August 1998. In early 2002, the former association decided to dissolve itself.

Several years ago, the Australian Industry & Defence Network Incorporated (AIDN-NATIONAL) approached the ACT & Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry ('the Chamber') seeking the Chamber's assistance in re-establishing AIDN in the ACT. The Chamber agreed to assist AIDN, and believed that the Chamber's much larger membership, staffing, networks and its strong relationship with ACT Government would benefit AIDN. As a result, the Australian Industry & Defence Network (Canberra) Incorporated (AIDN-ACT) was formed.

Defence business is an important part of the ACT business community. AIDN now has a close relationship with the Defence industry.

Benefits of membership include: information on defence business opportunities, networking, access to government and the diplomatic corps.
